| Abstract: | Attempts at continuous labeling of Crithidia fasciculata DNA with [3H]thymidine led to a pulse-chase situation due to a cell-mediated conversion of thymidine to thymine in the medium. The uptake of thymine was slow compared to that of thymidine. Neither the addition of deoxyadenosine nor the sequential addition of several aliquots of [3H]thymidine had an effect on the pattern of labeling. |
